Microsoft To Ship Windows Phone Mango Devices By September?

Microsoft’s Windows Phone 7 Mango update is set to touchdown sometime this fall, but when exactly has remained under wraps. Now it looks like a Microsoft employee may have just inadvertently spilled the beans via Twitter. The Microsoft Imagine Cup competition Twitter account Tweeted to finalists that they would each be receiving a Windows Phone Mango handset by September.

The Microsoft Imagine Cup challenges students to use technology to address tough problems in the world and has just sent a slew of messages to announce winners. One of the messages read: “finalists ALL receive Windows Phone 7.5 Mango Release!! Each student will get the phone by September!” It’s unlikely that those students will be getting pre-release devices, so we can only assume that Mango devices should hit the market by late August or early September.
